Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 Trophies: Complete Achievements Guide

Quick Answer: Monster Hunter Wilds has 50 PS5 trophies, including the Eastward Wings Platinum, with most awarded through story progress, exploration, hunting, and Hunter Profile activities; three trophies are particularly easy to overlook.

Trophy Overview

Monster Hunter Wilds has 50 PS5 trophies in total, with the Platinum trophy awarded after the other 49 trophies have been unlocked. The in-game equivalent is called an “award,” and the complete collection can be viewed through the Hunter Profile. This terminology matters because some objectives may be described as awards in the game while appearing as trophies on PlayStation.

The trophy list covers several different kinds of progress. Story progression accounts for some objectives, while others ask you to interact with systems that are easy to ignore during a normal campaign. Hunting Log progress is especially important for the two Gold trophies, because both require collecting monster crowns. Other objectives involve exploration, special interactions, and activities outside a standard hunt.

The available trophy breakdown is inconsistent between published guide sources. One source lists 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 10 Silver, and 37 Bronze trophies. Another lists 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 11 Silver, and 36 Bronze trophies. Both sources agree on the overall total of 50 trophies and the existence of one Platinum and two Gold trophies, so the total is the safest basis for planning.

Trophy tier	Count reported by Game8	Count reported by FextraLife	Practical significance
Platinum	1	1	Awarded for completing the other trophies
Gold	2	2	Both are associated with monster-crown collection
Silver	10	11	Source data differs by one trophy
Bronze	37	36	Source data differs by one trophy
Total	50	50	Agreed total

The Platinum is called Eastward Wings. It cannot be earned independently: the trophy is obtained only after all 49 other trophies and achievements have been collected. That makes the Platinum a completion check rather than a separate challenge.

For a practical checklist, use the PlayStation trophy screen alongside the Hunter Profile. The console list confirms which trophies have triggered, while the in-game profile helps identify whether a relevant award category or hunting objective has been completed. This is particularly useful for crown-related progress, because the Hunting Log is directly connected to those Gold trophies.

The published data does not provide PlayStation rarity percentages for individual trophies. The rarity column below therefore records when a percentage is unavailable instead of presenting an unverified estimate.

Rarest Achievements

The rarest trophies cannot be identified by verified percentage from the supplied data because no individual PlayStation rarity percentages were provided. The available information does identify the two Gold trophies as the most demanding collection objectives and names three trophies as easy to miss.

Trophy or achievement	Rarity %	How to earn
Miniature Crown Master	Not supplied	Collect the required miniature monster crowns in the Hunting Log.
Giant Crown Master	Not supplied	Collect the required giant monster crowns in the Hunting Log.
A Prize Held High	Not supplied	Complete the trophy’s associated special objective before its opportunity is lost or moved beyond the relevant story progress.
I Caught A Shooting Star!	Not supplied	Complete the associated shooting-star interaction when the opportunity appears.
Monster (Squid) Hunter	Not supplied	Complete the associated squid-monster objective.

Miniature Crown Master and Giant Crown Master are the only two Gold trophies according to the supplied guide data. Both require obtaining crowns from monsters and recording them in the Hunting Log. This makes them natural candidates for the longest cleanup phase, even if the rest of the list is completed during ordinary story and exploration progress.

Monster Hunter Wilds makes crown checking more transparent than older entries in the series. When you aim binoculars at a monster, a silver or gold crown appears beneath its name if that monster qualifies as a crown specimen. This means you can inspect a target before committing to a full hunt. The system is useful for both crown trophies: a large target can be checked for a giant crown, while a particularly small specimen can be checked for a miniature crown.

Use the binocular check as part of every crown-focused investigation:

• Locate the relevant monster in the field.
• Aim the binoculars at the monster rather than relying only on visual size.
• Check beneath its name for a silver or gold crown.
• Prioritize targets that display the crown indicator.
• Record the result in the Hunting Log after the hunt or relevant encounter.

The three easy-to-miss trophies identified by the supplied guide data are A Prize Held High, I Caught A Shooting Star!, and Monster (Squid) Hunter. The source labels them as “Easy to Miss Trophies,” but the available excerpt does not give the exact quest, location, or story chapter associated with each one. As a result, a precise quest-by-quest route cannot be responsibly stated from the available evidence.

Treat these three objectives as checklist items during the campaign rather than assuming they will unlock automatically. When a new environmental event, unusual creature, or optional interaction appears, inspect the surrounding area and Hunter Profile progress before moving on. This approach is particularly important for I Caught A Shooting Star!, whose name indicates a time-sensitive or event-based interaction, although the supplied data does not specify its exact trigger.

Missable Achievements

The three trophies specifically flagged as easy to miss should be checked before advancing beyond the story opportunity that presents their associated activity. The supplied data does not identify a named chapter or exact story beat, so the safest documented rule is to monitor them during the campaign and clean them up before moving on from unusual optional encounters.

The known missable-risk list is:

• A Prize Held High
• I Caught A Shooting Star!
• Monster (Squid) Hunter

These trophies should not be treated as confirmed permanently missable in the same way as a trophy tied to a deleted save state. The available source excerpt only says they are easy to miss. That distinction matters: an objective can be overlooked during the main story and still be recoverable later, or it can require returning to a particular activity after the story has advanced. Without a documented chapter boundary, claiming that one of these trophies is permanently impossible after a specific mission would be unsupported.

Use the following progression checks whenever the game introduces a new area, unusual wildlife encounter, or optional interaction:

• Review the Hunter Profile after completing a notable activity.
• Check the trophy list for a newly available objective.
• Investigate unusual creatures instead of leaving immediately.
• Inspect the environment during special visual or astronomical events.
• Complete optional interactions before beginning the next major story objective.
• Keep a separate note for the three named trophies until they unlock.

The name Monster (Squid) Hunter should be treated as an activity-specific warning. The supplied information confirms the title but does not provide the exact creature, region, quest, or capture method. Do not infer a precise location from the title alone. Instead, watch for any squid-like monster or related optional encounter and confirm the objective through the in-game activity or trophy notification.

I Caught A Shooting Star! is similarly signposted by its title, but the source data does not establish whether the event occurs at a fixed location, during a particular weather state, or after a specific quest. The reliable action is to investigate the event when it appears and avoid immediately returning to the main objective.

A Prize Held High has no detailed trigger in the supplied facts. Its name suggests a reward or object interaction, but the reward, location, and required conditions are not documented here. Record the trophy as pending and verify the exact in-game requirement before beginning the next irreversible-looking story transition.

For a spoiler-conscious run, the best practice is to pause before every major story advance and review these three entries. Because Monster Hunter Wilds supports continued exploration and trophy cleanup, a missed objective is not automatically evidence that the save is ruined. Continue using the Hunter Profile and PlayStation list as the authoritative status indicators for your own file.

Hidden And Secret Achievements

The hidden or secret trophies should be approached with caution because the available data confirms only a subset of their names and does not provide a complete spoiler-tagged list. The three explicitly identified as easy to miss are also the clearest secret-objective candidates in the supplied information.

The confirmed titles are:

Hidden or easy-to-miss trophy	What is confirmed	What remains unspecified
A Prize Held High	It is listed among the easy-to-miss trophies.	The exact activity, location, and story timing are not provided.
I Caught A Shooting Star!	It is listed among the easy-to-miss trophies.	The event conditions and required interaction are not provided.
Monster (Squid) Hunter	It is listed among the easy-to-miss trophies.	The exact monster encounter and objective method are not provided.
Eastward Wings	It is the Platinum trophy.	It requires all 49 other trophies before it unlocks.

Spoiler warning: the following section names the known secret-related objectives and discusses the final Platinum condition.

Eastward Wings is the completion trophy for the entire list. It unlocks only after all 49 other trophies and achievements have been obtained. Consequently, it does not provide a shortcut around difficult cleanup tasks. If one crown trophy, optional interaction, or activity objective is still missing, the Platinum will remain locked.

The two Gold crown trophies are not necessarily hidden in the same narrative sense as story trophies, but they function as secretive cleanup goals because their progress is tied to monster sizes and the Hunting Log rather than a conventional quest completion. The important distinction is that binoculars can reveal whether a target is a crown monster. A silver or gold crown appears beneath the monster’s name when viewed through the binoculars. This gives the player a direct identification method rather than requiring a hunt based only on visual comparison.

The following categories should be reviewed when a trophy remains hidden:

• Story objectives that have not yet triggered a PlayStation notification.
• Optional encounters involving unusual creatures.
• Environmental events that occur outside ordinary hunts.
• Hunting Log crown records.
• Hunter Profile awards that have not yet been completed.
• Any activity associated with the three named easy-to-miss trophies.

The term “hidden” can also refer to trophies whose descriptions are concealed by the PlayStation interface to avoid spoilers. The available data confirms that a complete guide includes hidden trophies, but it does not reproduce every hidden description. Therefore, this guide does not invent a full list of secret names or assign unsupported triggers to unnamed entries.

For players who want to preserve story surprises, keep the secret titles collapsed in the console interface until the associated activity has been attempted. For players pursuing the Platinum directly, reveal the descriptions and compare them against the Hunter Profile. Either method works, but the second is faster when the goal is strictly completion.

100% Completion Route

The most reliable 100% route is to combine normal story progress with early optional-activity checks, then finish Hunter Profile and crown cleanup after the main campaign. A complete run should be planned around all 50 trophies, with Eastward Wings reserved for the end because it requires the other 49 first.

Phase 1: Start The Campaign

Begin by playing through the story while treating every new system as a potential trophy category. The available data states that most trophies are earned through regular gameplay and exploration, while some require grinding and farming. This means a blind campaign can unlock a substantial portion of the list, but it should not be assumed to cover every award automatically.

During the opening portion of the game:

• Complete story objectives normally.
• Check the Hunter Profile after major unlocks.
• Explore newly available areas rather than rushing from marker to marker.
• Investigate unusual creatures and environmental events.
• Track A Prize Held High, I Caught A Shooting Star!, and Monster (Squid) Hunter from the beginning.

The purpose of this phase is preservation. The source data does not name a precise point of no return for the three easy-to-miss trophies, so completing their associated interactions as soon as they become available reduces the chance of overlooking them.

Phase 2: Clear Optional Activities During Exploration

As new regions and activities become available, make exploration part of the route instead of postponing every side objective. The exact activity names and unlock conditions for the full 50-trophy list are not included in the supplied facts, so use the PlayStation trophy list and Hunter Profile as the tracking layer.

Prioritize:

• Optional interactions encountered near story routes.
• Strange or rare wildlife.
• Special sky or environmental events.
• Hunter Profile categories that show incomplete awards.
• Monsters that can be inspected with binoculars.
• Any objective that appears to require a particular encounter rather than a standard hunt.

This phase is also the best time to begin crown awareness. You do not need to turn every hunt into a crown search, but binocular inspection prevents you from missing an obvious qualifying specimen. If a target displays a silver or gold crown beneath its name, prioritize the hunt and confirm that the Hunting Log records the result.

Phase 3: Finish The Main Story

Complete the main story once the three named easy-to-miss objectives have been checked. The supplied data does not identify a specific story beat that permanently blocks them, so this is a conservative route rather than a claim about a hard lockout.

Before each major story advance:

• Review the three missable-risk trophy names.
• Check whether the current area contains an unusual interaction.
• Inspect nearby monsters with binoculars if crown progress is relevant.
• Open the Hunter Profile and note unfinished award categories.
• Confirm that no currently available optional activity has been ignored.

After the story, continue from the existing save and use free exploration or post-story access for cleanup, provided the game’s own progression systems leave those activities available.

Phase 4: Crown And Profile Cleanup

The crown phase is likely to be the most variable part of the Platinum route. Miniature Crown Master and Giant Crown Master both require monster crowns in the Hunting Log. Binoculars are the key time-saving tool: they reveal a silver or gold crown below a monster’s name when the target qualifies.

A useful cleanup loop is:

1. Search for the monster relevant to the incomplete Hunting Log entry.
2. Inspect candidates with binoculars.
3. Ignore targets without the required crown indicator when a crown-specific hunt is the goal.
4. Hunt or otherwise complete the encounter for a qualifying target.
5. Confirm the Hunting Log entry and trophy progress.
6. Repeat for the remaining crown categories.

Do not rely on a monster appearing visually large or small. The documented binocular indicator is more reliable than subjective size comparison, and it allows you to decide whether a target is worth pursuing before spending time on the encounter.

Phase 5: Trigger The Platinum

The final phase is simply to obtain the last missing trophy and allow Eastward Wings to unlock. The Platinum requires all 49 other trophies first, so check the PlayStation list if it does not appear immediately after a suspected final objective.

A realistic time estimate cannot be stated as a hard figure from the supplied data. The available facts confirm that some objectives may require grinding and farming, especially crown-related progress, but they do not provide a verified completion-time estimate. Plan for a normal story-and-exploration run followed by a variable cleanup period; the final duration depends primarily on crown luck, missed optional interactions, and how efficiently you use binocular checks.

Trophy Tracking And Cleanup

The best tracking method is to use the PlayStation trophy list for unlock confirmation and the Hunter Profile for in-game award progress. Monster Hunter Wilds calls these objectives awards in-game, while PlayStation presents them as trophies and achievements, so checking both interfaces avoids false assumptions about what remains.

The game provides 50 awards that can be viewed in the Hunter Profile. That profile should be treated as the central checklist for activities that do not clearly announce themselves as story milestones. A trophy notification confirms that a particular objective has triggered, but the profile can show broader progress across hunting and exploration systems.

Use a two-column personal checklist:

Status	Record
Unlocked on PlayStation	The exact trophy name and unlock notification
Incomplete in Hunter Profile	The relevant award category or activity
Pending easy-to-miss objective	A Prize Held High, I Caught A Shooting Star!, or Monster (Squid) Hunter
Crown progress	Miniature Crown Master or Giant Crown Master
Final requirement	All 49 non-Platinum trophies

The distinction between “seen” and “completed” is important for environmental objectives. Seeing a rare event or encountering an unusual creature may not be enough. Continue until the game confirms the associated interaction, award, or trophy. This is especially relevant to I Caught A Shooting Star!, whose title describes a specific event but whose exact trigger is not included in the supplied data.

For crown tracking, record the monster name and crown type whenever binoculars display the indicator. A silver or gold crown beneath the target’s name confirms that the specimen qualifies as a crown monster. The Hunting Log then provides the persistent record needed for the two Gold trophies.

When a trophy appears stuck, check these points in order:

• Confirm that the objective was completed rather than merely encountered.
• Review the Hunter Profile for the related award.
• Check whether the Hunting Log recorded the monster crown.
• Compare the PlayStation trophy list against the 50-award total.
• Revisit optional activities before assuming the save is permanently blocked.
• Confirm that the missing item is not one of the three easy-to-miss titles.

This process avoids unnecessary farming. If the missing requirement is a crown, continue searching for the relevant crown indicator. If the missing requirement is an optional interaction, inspect the profile and revisit areas associated with unusual events rather than repeating ordinary hunts without a clear objective.

Platform And Terminology Notes

The PS5 version uses the PlayStation trophy system, while the game itself refers to the same collectible objectives as awards. This guide uses “trophy” for the console-facing list and “award” when referring to the Hunter Profile.

Monster Hunter Wilds was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, with cross-platform play supported according to the supplied platform information. The 50-objective total is presented across trophy and achievement terminology, but the trophy interface and Platinum condition are specifically relevant to PS5 players.

Term	Where it appears	Meaning
Trophy	PlayStation 5 trophy list	A console achievement tied to the account and game
Achievement	General cross-platform terminology	The equivalent objective on supported non-PlayStation platforms
Award	Hunter Profile	The in-game term for the collectible objective
Platinum	PlayStation 5	The final trophy awarded after the other 49 trophies

The Platinum trophy is named Eastward Wings. It is not a separate activity that can be completed early. It is awarded after every other trophy has been collected, meaning the practical goal is to reduce the list to one final missing objective and then complete it.

The source data gives two different tier distributions for the same total. One listing reports 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 10 Silver, and 37 Bronze. Another reports 1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 11 Silver, and 36 Bronze. This discrepancy does not change the route: the total remains 50, the Platinum remains Eastward Wings, and the two Gold trophies remain Miniature Crown Master and Giant Crown Master.

For players comparing guides, use trophy names and requirements rather than relying only on tier counts. A one-trophy difference between Silver and Bronze classifications is a presentation discrepancy in the supplied sources, not evidence that the overall list has a different length.

The most relevant cross-links for a completion run are a Monster Hunter Wilds crown farming guide, a Monster Hunter Wilds Hunting Log guide, and a Monster Hunter Wilds story progression guide. These placeholders are useful because the Platinum route separates naturally into story completion, optional interaction checks, and crown cleanup.

Completion Checklist

A complete Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 trophies run requires all 50 trophies, including the Eastward Wings Platinum. The final checklist should therefore combine the known special objectives, the two crown trophies, the 49-trophy prerequisite, and the in-game Hunter Profile.

Use this order when auditing a nearly complete save:

• Confirm the overall trophy total on PlayStation.
• Open the Hunter Profile and review incomplete awards.
• Check A Prize Held High.
• Check I Caught A Shooting Star!.
• Check Monster (Squid) Hunter.
• Review Miniature Crown Master progress.
• Review Giant Crown Master progress.
• Inspect the Hunting Log for recorded crowns.
• Complete any remaining story or exploration objectives.
• Confirm that 49 trophies are unlocked before expecting Eastward Wings.

The three named easy-to-miss trophies deserve a separate audit because they may not arise naturally from repeated monster hunts. A Prize Held High has an unspecified trigger in the supplied data. I Caught A Shooting Star! is associated by name with a shooting-star event, but the exact timing and interaction are not documented here. Monster (Squid) Hunter indicates a squid-related monster objective, but its precise encounter requirements are likewise unspecified.

The two Gold trophies require a different audit method. Search the Hunting Log for crown-related gaps, then use binoculars to identify qualifying monsters in the field. The indicator beneath a monster’s name distinguishes a qualifying crown specimen, with silver or gold shown when the target meets the crown condition. This is the most concrete documented method for reducing crown-search time.

Do not mark the Platinum as a separate checklist task until the other trophies are complete. Eastward Wings is awarded only after all 49 other trophies and achievements have been obtained. If it has not unlocked, the missing requirement is elsewhere in the list.

The supplied sources do not provide individual rarity percentages, exact story-beat deadlines, or a verified completion-time figure. Those fields should be checked against the current PS5 trophy interface and the game’s present state rather than filled with estimates. Rarity can change as the player population changes, and an exact missable deadline requires a documented quest or chapter reference.

For a clean final audit, compare three records:

Record	What it confirms
PlayStation trophy list	Which trophies have actually unlocked
Hunter Profile	Which in-game awards remain incomplete
Hunting Log	Which monster-crown progress has been recorded

Once those records agree and the other 49 trophies are complete, the final Platinum condition is satisfied.
